Modi would be stopped if he talks politics at Mahakumbh: SP

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi would be "stopped" if he indulges in politics during his visit to the ongoing Mahakumbh next week, a senior leader from the ruling Samajwadi Party said today.

"Mahakumbh is an occasion having spiritual and religious significance... Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi can come there and take a holy dip during his visit on February 13 and take the blessings of saints but if he opts to indulge in politics, he would be stopped," senior SP leader Ram Asrey Kushwaha told PTI on phone.

"Kumbh area is a religious place and it should remain as that... it is our advice and also our request," he said.
